[0058] Now, the present invention will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are all simplified schematic diagrams, only showing the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic way, so they only show the components related to the present invention.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which shows the three-dimensional view of the present invention; please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which shows the internal schematic top view of the rectangular frame of the present invention; please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 which shows the Figure 2 enlarged view at A in Figure 4 , Figure 4 which shows the front view of the connection between the second gear and the disc of the present invention; as Figures 1-4 shown, a spreading and drying mechanism for 3D laser printing powder includes:

[0060] Rectangular frame 1, the rectangular frame 1 is combined with the periphery of the liftable platform 2 to form a printing chamber 3, and the printing chamber 3 can spread the printing powder layer by layer through the powder spreading mechanism; each time the powder spreading mechanism spreads a layer of powder on the liftable platform 2, the liftable platform 2 can descend a height according to the situation.

[0061] Border sandwich layer 4, the border sandwich layer 4 is arranged at the central position of the rectangular frame 1;

[0062] Drying section 5, the drying section 5 is arranged in the border sandwich layer 4 in two groups mirror-imaged along the diagonal of the rectangular frame 1;

[0063] The inclined heat discharge holes 9, and a plurality of the inclined heat discharge holes 9 are arranged in two columns along the trajectory of the frame shape on the inner wall of the rectangular frame 1 and communicate with the frame interlayer 4; the output end of the inclined heat discharge hole 9 is lower than the input end of the inclined heat discharge hole 9, and the heat can act well on the upper end surface of the powder;

[0064] The drying part 5 includes a first heater 51 horizontally arranged inside the frame interlayer 4, a horizontal sealing plate 52 arranged inside the frame interlayer 4 away from the first heater 51 and capable of closing a plurality of the inclined heat discharge holes 9 in two columns in one direction, a second heater 53 vertically arranged inside the frame interlayer 4. The first heater 51 and the second heater 53 can emit hot air, which belongs to the prior art and will not be described in detail here. A vertical sealing plate 54 arranged inside the frame interlayer 4 away from the second heater 53 and capable of closing a plurality of the inclined heat discharge holes 9 in two columns in the other direction, and a driving part 55 arranged inside the frame interlayer 4 and meshing with the horizontal sealing plate 52 and the vertical sealing plate 54. The two driving parts 55 are electrically connected to the controller, and under the action of the controller, the two driving parts 55 can exchange work;

[0065] Driving the driving part 55, the driving part 55 can intermittently drive the horizontal sealing plate 52 and the vertical sealing plate 54 to displace, so that a plurality of the inclined heat discharge holes 9 in two columns in two directions sequentially discharge the heat of the first heater 51 and the second heater 53 to dry the printing powder. Specifically, compared with the prior art, the first heater 51 and the second heater 53 are arranged inside the frame interlayer 4 to heat it. Under the driving force of the driving part 55, the horizontal sealing plate 52 first displaces, releasing the closed state of a plurality of the inclined heat discharge holes 9 in two columns in one horizontal direction, so that the heat acts on the single-layer powder in the horizontal direction. After this operation is completed, the driving force of the driving part 55 on the horizontal sealing plate 52 disappears, and the driving work on the vertical sealing plate 54 continues. The vertical sealing plate 54 then displaces, releasing the closed state of a plurality of the inclined heat discharge holes 9 in two columns in one vertical direction, so that the heat acts on the single-layer powder in the vertical direction. The drying effects in two directions received by each layer of powder are carried out sequentially and will not interfere with each other, thereby driving the consistency of the effects in each direction during the drying angle adjustment process and making the drying effect uniform.

[0066] Optionally, the driving part 55 includes two first tooth blocks 551 arranged on the horizontal sealing plate 52, a motor 552 arranged in the frame interlayer 4, a first roller 553 arranged on the motor 552, a second tooth block 554 arranged on the first roller 553 and capable of meshing with the two first tooth blocks 551, and a first gear 555 rotatably arranged in the frame interlayer 4 and capable of meshing with the second tooth block 554; wherein

[0067] Drive the motor 552, and the first roller 553 can drive the displacement of the two first tooth blocks 551 and the rotation of the first gear 555 through the second tooth block 554, so that the two first tooth blocks 551 drive the lateral sealing plate 52 to move and open a number of the inclined heat dissipation holes 9 in two columns in one direction. Specifically, the motor 552 drives the first roller 553 to rotate, the rotation of the first roller 553 drives the second tooth block 554 to rotate, and the rotation of the second tooth block 554 pushes the two first tooth blocks 551. In this way, the lateral sealing plate 52 can move under force to meet the heat dissipation requirements of a number of the inclined heat dissipation holes 9 in two columns in the horizontal direction. After the second tooth block 554 pushes the two first tooth blocks 551, it moves away from the two first tooth blocks 551 and no longer works on the lateral sealing plate 52, avoiding the synchronous drive of the motor 552 for the lateral sealing plate 52 and the vertical sealing plate 54. And immediately after the second tooth block 554 moves away from the two first tooth blocks 551, it drives the first gear 555 to transmit power, providing a good prerequisite for the movement of the vertical sealing plate 54.

[0068] Optionally, the driving part 55 further includes a second gear 556 rotatably arranged in the frame sandwich layer 4 and capable of meshing with the first gear 555, a disc 557 arranged at the upper end of the second gear 556, a third tooth block 558 arranged on the disc 557, and a gap between two fourth tooth blocks 559 arranged on the vertical sealing plate 54 and capable of meshing with the third tooth block 558, where

[0069] The first gear 555 can drive the second gear 556 to rotate, so that the second gear 556 drives the third tooth block 558 to rotate through the disc 557, so that the third tooth block 558 drives the vertical sealing plate 54 to move through the two fourth tooth blocks 559 and open a number of the inclined heat dissipation holes 9 in the other direction. Specifically, the rotation of the first gear 555 drives the rotation of the second gear 556, the rotation of the second gear 556 drives the concentric rotation of the disc 557, and the rotation of the disc 557 drives the rotation of the third tooth block 558 to rotate the two fourth tooth blocks 559, so that the two fourth tooth blocks 559 drive the vertical sealing plate 54 to meet the heat dissipation requirements of a number of the inclined heat dissipation holes 9 in two columns in the vertical direction. After the third tooth block 558 pushes the two fourth tooth blocks 559, it moves away from the two fourth tooth blocks 559 and no longer works on the vertical sealing plate 54, so as to ensure the coordination of the drying work in each direction.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 shows a schematic structural diagram of the lateral sealing plate and the vertical sealing plate of the present invention; as Figure 5 shown, a number of inclined through holes 6 are provided on the lateral sealing plate 52 and the vertical sealing plate 54;

[0071] A number of the inclined through-holes 6 correspond to a number of the inclined heat-dissipating holes 9 one by one. Specifically, a number of the inclined through-holes 6 move along with the movement of the horizontal sealing plate 52 and the vertical sealing plate 54. The angles and shapes of a number of the inclined through-holes 6 and a number of the inclined heat-dissipating holes 9 are the same, ensuring that the closing and dredging operations of the horizontal sealing plate 52 and the vertical sealing plate 54 on a number of the inclined through-holes 6 are not obstructed.

[0072] The patent also has the following problems:

[0073] The process of the horizontal sealing plate 52 and the vertical sealing plate 54 moving cannot be limited;

[0074] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 which shows a top view of the connection of the horizontal sealing plate of the present invention to a bending spring; please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 which shows a front internal schematic view of the radial part reset part of the present invention; as Figures 6-7 shown;

[0075] The spreading and drying mechanism for 3D laser printing powder further includes a radial part reset part 7;

[0076] The radial part reset part 7 includes eight guide sleeves 71 arranged in pairs on four directions of the frame sandwich 4 of the frame;

[0077] Eight of the guide sleeves 71 are respectively placed outside two of the horizontal sealing plates 52 and two of the vertical sealing plates 54, where

[0078] the horizontal sealing plate 52 and the vertical sealing plate 54 are adapted to displace along the guide sleeves 71. Specifically, the guide sleeves 71 at different positions can limit the horizontal sealing plate 52 and the vertical sealing plate 54 at different positions, preventing the movement trajectories of the horizontal sealing plate 52 and the vertical sealing plate 54 from deviating and ensuring the stability of their opening and closing operations on a number of the inclined through-holes 6.

[0079] Optionally, the radial part reset part 7 further includes three arc-shaped grooves 72 arranged on three surfaces of each of the guide sleeves 71 and three rotating wheels 73 rotatably arranged in the three arc-shaped grooves 72;

[0080] Three of the rotating wheels 73 at different positions can laterally abut against the horizontal sealing plate 52 and the vertical sealing plate 54;

[0081] When the horizontal sealing plate 52 and the vertical sealing plate 54 displace, they can drive the rotating wheels 73 to frictionally rotate. Specifically, the arc-shaped grooves 72 provide a good rotation accommodation space for the rotating wheels 73, and the rotating wheels 73 can provide a sliding support force for the horizontal sealing plate 52 and the vertical sealing plate 54 in the arc-shaped grooves 72, reducing the sliding resistance of the horizontal sealing plate 52 and the vertical sealing plate 54 and improving the smoothness of their operations.

[0082] This patent also has the following problems;

[0083] After the lateral sealing plate 52 and the vertical sealing plate 54 are moved, they cannot be reset;

[0084] Optionally, the radial reset part 7 further includes four groups of bending springs 74;

[0085] Two of the groups of bending springs 74 are arranged between the two guide sleeves 71 and the two lateral sealing plates 52;

[0086] The other two groups of bending springs 74 are arranged between the two guide sleeves 71 and the two vertical sealing plates 54, where

[0087] When the lateral sealing plate 52 and the vertical sealing plate 54 are displaced, the bending springs 74 can be stretched. Specifically, the bending springs 74 at different positions stretch and store energy as the lateral sealing plate 52 and the vertical sealing plate 54 move. When they are no longer under force, the bending springs 74 release the stored energy to reset the lateral sealing plate 52 and the vertical sealing plate 54 to their initial positions.

[0088] This patent also has the following problems;

[0089] The moisture in the wet powder after being heated cannot be discharged in time;

[0090] Please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 , which shows a bottom view of the moisture absorption group of the present invention; as Figure 7 shown, the spreading and drying mechanism for 3D laser printing powder further includes a moisture absorption group 8;

[0091] The moisture absorption group 8 includes two first arc-shaped holes 81 arranged on the same-plane housing of the scanning head and two second arc-shaped holes 82 arranged on the same-plane housing of the scanning head;

[0092] The two second arc-shaped holes 82 are placed outside the two first arc-shaped holes 81 and cover two gaps of the two first arc-shaped holes 81;

[0093] The two second arc-shaped holes 82 and the two first arc-shaped holes 81 are connected to an external suction device through a main pipe. Specifically, the scanning head is a laser scanning device far from the printing chamber 3, which is a publicly available technology and will not be described in detail here. The two first arc-shaped holes 81 and the two second arc-shaped holes 82 are concentrically arranged on the scanning head, and the angle between the two first arc-shaped holes 81 and the two second arc-shaped holes 82 is 90 degrees, and they can form a complete circumferential surface, so that the moisture generated by the powder under the drying effect can be efficiently discharged comprehensively, improving the working efficiency.

[0094] Optionally, several adjacent rows of the inclined heat discharge holes 9 are arranged in a staggered and parallel manner;

[0095] Moreover, the distance between two adjacent ones of the inclined heat discharge holes 9 in a single row is equal to the hole diameter of the inclined heat discharge holes 9 in the other row. Specifically, the positions of the inclined heat discharge holes 9 are arranged such that there is no drying dead angle on one surface, ensuring the scope and refinement of powder drying.

[0096] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
